Hi all, I’ve been using Python for about twenty years and have been fortunate enough to have it be my primary language for work for quite a bit of that time. I’ve been a developer for almost forty years and have worked in many languages and industries. I still find software development a lot of fun and challenging. I’m also the author of the soon (I hope) to be published “The Well-Grounded Python Developer” by Manning Publishing. I’ve also written some articles for RealPython.com I’m a bit of a painter getting into oils and trying to teach myself the Ukulele, with mixed results. 🙂 I work for Rectangle Health, which is trying to get more into Python. I heard Benjy’s interview on the Talk Python to Me Podcast and thought Pants sounded very cool! I’m building a new project/REST application at work and thought it would be very useful to incorporate Pants into it. In truth, I didn’t know I needed something like Pants till I listened to the Podcast!

Welcome Doug, so great to see you here. You’ll find this is a very welcoming and friendly community, so feel free to ask any questions you may have over in #general 🙂

very cool. nice to meet you!

Hey, thanks for the welcome! Hopefully I won’t flood the #general channel with endless questions as I try to work Pants into my workflow!

No worries. Even if you did, that's welcome and appropriate. We're happy to entertain questions and feedback, and glean insights that help us further improve docs and features.
